摘要
This paper investigates worker learning and forgetting phenomenon in a dual resource constrained system (DRC) setting. Worker learning and forgetting in two and three stage DRC systems are modeled according to the dual-phase learning and forgetting model (DPLFM), which is based on the theory that a task has separate cognitive and motor requirements. Results show that the task-type (with respect to its learning rate and proportion of cognitive and motor requirements) affects the performance of training and deployment policies in DRC systems, and as such it should be included in future DRC research.
